I was initially referred to this one, which although not exactly a howto, did help me with my first steps with OBS:

I don't have any other links handy, but I know I've come across one or two other blogs which were helpful. There are also guides/references to the osc (the command line interface) and the web-ditto. Due to the SOPA sillyness today, I can't access most/all of the other openSUSE pages. :-)
Thanks Per. Yeah, the SOPA/PIPA is worrisome to many of us and we're doing what we can to kill it or at least get it modified to be less invasive to users.
yeah, that's fair enough. Here are some more links: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OSC http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines The web interface - very nice, but afaik still limited when compared to the command line interface: https://build.opensuse.org/ To get started, I think(!) the best approach is to be stubborn: "I WILL do this!" Pick something to fix or upgrade, then try and try and try again :-) My own first step was upgrading nasm to include a patch I had submitted upstream a while ago. Nothing special, but it takes you through the motions. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
